What is Darzalex?
Darzalex (daratumumab) is a monoclonal antibody that blocks a certain protein in the body that can affect tumor cell growth. Monoclonal antibodies are made to target and destroy only certain cells in the body. This may help to protect healthy cells from damage.
Darzalex is used to treat multiple myeloma (bone marrow cancer). It is usually given after other cancer medicines have been tried without success.
Darzalex is used alone when given to a person who has been treated with at least 3 prior cancer medicines.
For a person treated with only one prior cancer medicine, Darzalex may be given in combination with another cancer medicine (either lenalidomide or bortezomib) plus a steroid medicine called dexamethasone.
